Grant Gilmore
Meteorologist Grant Gilmore's blood may have thinned out a bit after spending several years in Florida, but he is no stranger to the cooler temperatures up north and the weather patterns that come with all four seasons.
Grant grew up in Saline, Mich. where he discovered his curiosity for the weather, climate, and science in general. He pursued his passion for weather at the University of North Carolina Asheville where he completed his degree in Atmospheric Sciences and played soccer all four years for the Bulldogs.
Following graduation from UNCA, Grant got his start in television at WMAZ-TV in Macon, Ga. and then WFMY-TV in Greensboro, N.C. In Greensboro he served as the Chief Meteorologist for four years and covered everything from hurricanes to crippling winter storms and everything in between.
Since 2009, Grant has held the distinction of being a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist with the American Meteorological Society.

Grant spent six years as the morning meteorologist at the CBS affiliate in Tampa Bay. While in Florida, he helped guide the Tampa Bay region and Central Florida through numerous tropical systems, most notably hurricanes Irma and Ian.
He and his wife, Liz met while working together in North Carolina, but were married in Cape May, N.J. in Liz's home state. Their two daughters, Finley and Rowen were born in Florida but love living in a place where it actually snows!
Grant is excited to forecast the dynamic weather that we have here in Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley. When he's not on TV talking about the weather you'll most likely find him looking for a way to get out in the weather with his family to go for a run, bike ride or just explore all of the historic places around the area. If you ever see him out don't hesitate to say hello!

Andrew Kozak
Meteorologist Andrew Kozak's interest in weather began at the age of 4, all because of a giant stocking. Sounds funny, but that's actually what was used to create the iconic tornado in "The Wizard Of Oz". In fact, Andrew never really cared to watch the rest of the movie once the color kicked in; he wore out the VHS tape rewinding to the tornado part over and over again!
Born and raised in Staten Island, NY, Andrew graduated from the State University of NY at Oneonta with a degree in meteorology and internship experience at WABC in New York City. Six days after graduating, he was out at his first on-air job in Casper, WY forecasting the weather and cohosting the morning show for the ABC affiliate.
Since then, he spent the better part of the last two decades tracking severe storms, tornadoes, floods and blizzards in Wichita, Tulsa, Memphis and Columbus, Ohio. He also spent some time helping out weather teams in Austin and Kansas City. He has co-hosted an entertainment show and hosted numerous entertainment, travel and celebrity segments as well.
Andrew joined the CBS 3 team in September 2022 and says he's excited to forecast the weather for the Delaware Valley, get involved in the community—and be "right down the road" from family.
Out of the studio, you can find Andrew exploring Philadelphia, eating his way through the city, working out (mainly because of all the eating), volunteering and testing his amateur chef skills. During college, he worked at a few high-end restaurants in NY, where he learned some culinary tricks from some of the best Italian chefs in the industry.
